Celts Return Pacers For Store Credit! Victory Cigar vs IND 12/26

Post #1 » by **bisme37** » Sat Dec 27, 2025 2:36 am

Hooray you guys we won the big game this is absolutely incredible!

Jaylen and Payton and Sam and Derrick and Baylor and Garza and Queta and team!

Just like on Monday, the Pacers came out on fire from 3 and we found ourselves in an early hole. But tonight the Celts bounced back quickly, used a 19-2 run and 47 point 2nd quarter to take the lead, and cruised to an easy win! Fun!

Blazers Sunday, Go C's!

Celtics took care of business to start the road trip. Jaylen Brown another efficient 30 point game.

I got Hauser for VC (on fire all night) and Pritchard for CP for his all around game tonight.

Keep this rolling!! Let’s Go Celtics!!!!!

A lot of players played good. Hard to select
We should have a third selection for HM

I went team. Brown, Pritchard, White, Queta, Garza, Hauser, Baylor all contributed. Nice job by the team taking care of business against a lesser opponent.

VC to Pritchard, his relentless scoring in the 2nd blew this game open. CP to Jaylen with his quiet 30, and Hauser for his lights-out shooting.

So much for this being a gap year. We're still pretty deep for a team that got gutted this summer, and the infusion of youth has been so fun to watch. Minott didn't even play tonight, that just goes to show the quality of our bench depth.

19-11 after 30 games.

I was very optimistic before the start of the season and this is more than I expected after 30 games.

You should be able to add a 3rd vote now if you'd like

GOOD GAME ... lots of nice play tonight
Queta was okay but he's largely been in a slump, unsteady not playing big, and Garza has just been better 3 games in a row
Neemi gotta get his swagger back

I thought Neemi was good to start the game then was quieter as the game progressed.

Brown is him.

Pretty fun to watch a blowout. Was worrisome the first six minutes when Indiana again exploded out of the gate with unrelentable accuracy. Fortunately their revolvers emptied and then that was the game. Celtics depth just wears them out. Pritch had the best game, and played 38 minutes. Simons is not a ball handler, he seemed to just give Indiana the ball a couple of times but was only credited with 2 Turnovers.

An Alternative View:

Pts. + Rebounds + (0.5 x Assists) + Steals + (0.5 x Blocks) - Missed FIeld Golas - (0.5 x Missed Free Throws) - Turnovers - (0.5 x Fouls)

+29 Payton Pritchard 38 minutes
+26 Jaylen Brown 32 minutes
+25 Sam Hauser 17 minutes
+19 Derrick White 33 minutes
+17 Luka Garza 27 minutes
+15 Neemias Queta 21 minutes

+5 Baylor Scheierman 20 minutes
+3.5 Jordan Walsh 19 minutes
+2.5 Anfernee Simons 21 minutes Teams looking at the Celtics menu just skip this dish
+0.5 Hugo Gonzalez 12 minutes

Team Total = 142.5

Ugly stat padding.

Cs face the Pacers 2 more times in January.

Great all around effort from a lot of different people tonight. Went Brown for getting the 30 piece in his 8th straight. And he knew what he needed when he came back in. Just banged a couple of 3's like it wasn't no thing and won a bet with Scal I think on dinner in Portland. Could've in a number of different directions for CP but tonight I wanted to shout out Scheierman. When Walsh got into early foul trouble Baylor did a helluva job subbing in, defending, grabbing boards and just providing energy. As one of the young wings, he tends to get passed over more often than but Joe stayed with him tonight and even though his statline doesn't look like much his impact was nopticeable.

Hauser tried 8 FGs and 2 FTs, and scored 23 points from that.

He also had 3 offensive rebounds.

Fencer reregistered · Post #16 » by **Fencer reregistered** » Sat Dec 27, 2025 3:04 am

The Cs had four 20-point scorers and a fifth at 15.

We know about Hugo's recent string of crazy positive +/- numbers. But tonight he was -13 in an 18-point win.

Lovely all around game to watch..Running out of superlatives for Jaylen. He still doesn't get enough respect from the general NBA community and media.

Philly just choked against The Cardiac Bulls, so now we have real seperartion in 3rd place.

Happy New Year Fam!

Am I just remembering good moments or was it a good move by Joe to switch Walsh onto Nembhard for the second half? Rico (eventually) onto Paskal and he put the clamps on him!

Post #20 » by **djFan71** » Sat Dec 27, 2025 6:46 am

Going Sam for the trade value bump, er, I mean spectacular shooting.
Joe for high fiving Walsh after the T

Who smokes the big cigar?
